SAN Francisco is rustling for a
National Democratic Convention,
and ought to succeed. In no other
city of the Union will the delegates
be entertained as in the progressive
metropolis of the Pacific; no other
city is so we'll prepared for their ac-
comodation and entertainment, and
no other city is so whole-souled and
generous as San Francisco. There
is another thing which ought to
have its influence in deciding the
MATTER. The holding of the con-
vention in San Francisco would do
much towards making California a
Democratic State in the Presiden-
tial election. The people of the far
west have long felt that neither of
the great political parties showed
them the consideration they were
entitled to, and this show of regard
OH the part of the National Demo
cratic Convention will be apt to
capture" the State.

1t is due to Mr.. Higgins to say
that he never was an applicant for

office was made by ex-Secretary
Manning after consultation with
Senator German, and accepted by
Mr.. Higgins as a temporary assign

retirement of Mr.. Higgins, but he
